After more than 20 years in the movie business, Quentin Tarantino continues to create some of the best moments in movie history.

He's known for putting his unique stamp on films by getting involved in multiple aspects of the project, writing, directing, producing, editing, hand-picking the music, and even acting in bit parts from time to time. His latest flick Django Unchained, an American Western about a freed slave in the deep South named Django (Jamie Foxx), is no exception.

So far, moviegoers and critics have been eating it up and the film has been nominated for four Golden Globes. In honor of the film's Christmas Day release, check out 10 other badass movie moments from Quentin!

Brad Pitt is better-known for playing dashing hunks and dramatic leading men than he is for roles as a criminal, but he's showing off his darker side Killing Them Softly opens tomorrow. In the film, he plays a morally ambiguous “enforcer” with ties to the mob, and he looks pretty damn badass from what we’ve seen in the trailer.

It’s unlikely that this role will turn Brad into Hollywood’s go-to bad guy, but it got us thinking about all the other guys we always see popping up in these gangster flicks (a couple of them popping up with Brad in Killing Me Softly).

If we were casting a mob flick, these are the 13 wise guys (and girl) we'd want in it.
